The colors of ecothermOur broad palette of traditional and contemporary colors opens a wide world

of possibilities. All 14 colors are hand-applied and UV cured, for outstanding

resistance to fading. Interior woodgrain laminates and brushed hardware are

also available, to match nearly any design style.

krypTon gas FillAt the heart of the EcoTherm design lies a triple-glazed core filled with Krypton gas. The gas is three times less conductive than argon. The added density of Krypton also slows convection between the panes, minimizing hot spots at the top and bottom of the window where heat exchange can occur.

a BeTTer Fr a mewor kFew people realize how much heat is lost through window frames and sashes. With EcoTherm, however, that loss is nearly eliminated. All frames and sashes are formed from low-conducting PVC and filled with an advanced cellular foam that minimizes thermal transfer. This added barrier creates more comfortable living spaces and actually strengthens the window. It’s a stronger, smarter framework for living.

m agneTiC appealAnother key aspect of the EcoTherm design is a magnetic weatherstrip where the window meets the sill. Like the seal on a refrigerator door, it creates a nearly impervious barrier to thermal and air penetration, for one more level of efficiency and comfort.

EcoTherm windows rank among the world’s very best for thermal performance,

a fact that has been certified by America’s leading independent agencies.

Most also qualify for Federal tax credits, which can be applied in the current

tax year for hundreds, even thousands of dollars in rebates.

glazing paCkagesGlass and spacer technologies (the glazing package) are the key to a window’s thermal efficiency. EcoTherm has therefore partnered with two industry leaders – Guardian Industries and TruSeal Technologies – to create a best-of-class glazing system that meets or exceeds all Energy Star and Federal tax credit standards.

nFrC Thermal RaTings DeFineDU-Value: The measurement of the rate of heat loss through a material. The lower the U-Value, the better.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): The measurement of how well a product blocks heat from the sun. The lower the SHGC, the better a product is at blocking heat gain.

Visible Light Transmission (VLT): The measurement of how much light comes through a product. The lower the VLT, the better a product is at blocking Ultraviolet Rays.

Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF): The measurement of how well a product resists the formation of condensation. The higher the CRF number, the better a product is able to resist condensation.

EcoTherm Windows provide a thermal barrier that allows sunlight in, while blocking external heat in the summer and retaining internal heat in the winter.
